President a hypocrite on guns and abortion; Detroit police presence too high for crime rate; Schimmel shouldn't be giving city land away - SOUND OFF: May 9

There is no bigger hypocrite than President Obama. He stands in front of you and says (regarding Newtown and guns) that we have to stop the killing of children and then he immediately applauds Planned Parenthood and their hundreds of thousands of abortions performed every year. Hypocrite Obama.

I see on the nationwide news that Detroit has the most crime and also they have more policemen than any of the major cities and they get paid more money than any of the other major cities. So why are the Detroit policemen always crying the blues? They apparently aren't doing a great job if they have the highest crime rate. So why don't they just shut up and do their work?

I just read in your paper that the Pontiac Department of Public Works has been given away to Consumers Energy for $10 by Lou Schimmel. The article left out what the property is contaminated with. You said just last week that a mercury spill was discovered under lockers. How convenient. It has been placed there and in one week, filthy rich Consumers Energy owns it for $10. Now tell the people of Pontiac what the property is contaminated with, if anything. It boggles my mind how fast and cheap our property is given away. This man, who is power mad, cannot leave our city fast enough. Also, why wasn't this front page news, instead of on page eight?
